Powerbook doesn't want to boot from cd anymore

Hi everyone,
My girlfriend's PowerBook G4 crashed, so I tried to boot from a 10.4 dvd I have. The computer booted once from the DVD, but then I had to shut it down for logistical purposes (understand: I had to move it). Now, it doesn't want to boot from the dvd anymore. When I insert it, the dvd reader just ejects it. I tried pressing on the C key and cd boot from Open Firmware but it didn't work (except for the first boot)...
Anyone can help?

If the 10.4 DVD has a gray color & it's from another model Mac, it won't boot. Some how the Mac may have been "fooled" the first time.
Can you describe the "crash"?
Try inserting the DVD in the disc drive while the Mac is not running. Then startup while depressing the Option key. Does the 10.4 DVD show up as one of the sources to boot from?
Will it boot in Safe Mode? See
What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? (Mac OS X)
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107392
Takes a while to run, but it usually "fixes" problems.
Doesn't your GF have the restore DVDs that came with the PB G4?
 Cheers, Tom

New 2011 MBP 13" doesn't want to boot from USB

Just got brand new 2011 MBP 13" and tried first boot from the external bootable clone of up to date system volume from my older MBP - no go at all. It allows me to select the external USB volume to boot from but then it stays on the gray screen with Apple logo doing nothing.
Old MBP boots from the same external USB with no problem, boots as well from the clone of my iMac without chocking. But nothing happens with new 2011 MBP 13".
Both external volumes mount and show as start-up disks, but no matter which way I try to boot new 2011 MBP from any of them it just doesn't work.
Any help?

What you mean by "too old"?
They don't have the needed drivers, which are only present on the new MacBook Pro models. A Mac OS X version which shipped with a Mac counts as newer than a copy with the same version number that was attained through usage of the downloadable updaters.

MacBook Pro doesn't want to boot when cd rom is connected

Hello,
I have an issue with my MacBook Pro (2009) model.
When I'm connecting CD-ROM (internal one) computer doesn't want to boot nither from DC ROM nor from HDD.
As soon as I am dissconecting CD ROM system is booting up without any problem.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Dubbster

Hi Dubbster,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your MacBook Pro is not booting when you have the Mac OS X Install DVD inserted. Do you get any boot options when you hold down the Option key during startup? Please reference the following article and let me know if you need further assistance.

Ibook g4 (2005) wont boot from cd. always wants to boot from hd. how do i change the boot sequence?

so my ibook as i wrote will not boot from the cd rom. it always wants to boot from the hd but i had the hd wiped b/c it had linux and it would not allow me to access the firmware. now that the hd is clean i was able to access the firmware but i dont know how to change the boot sequence. the starts to spin in the drive and acts like it want to boot from the cd but the cd just keeps spinning and i get a screen with a blinking question mark and smiley face.

Hello and welcome to the support community.
Why do you need to go into the firmware?
If the disk is a boot disk like Mac OS X, then all you need to do is hold down 'C' key or the option key while the disk is in the drive and the iBook is booting up (After the chime)
If either doesn't work, then there must be an issue with the disk not being a boot disk or corrupted. Alternatively a problem with the optical drive. You don't need to go into the firmware to change any boot selection.
Hope this helps

I want to Boot from My old hard drive.

I an trying to do this work around so I can continue using protools 7 with my MBP running Snow leopard. I pulled out my old hard drive running Tiger and put it into a USB case. I installed a new 650GB hard drive in to my laptop, installed Snow Leopard and reinstalled all my old software. So far so good. Now I want to boot from the old hard drive running Tiger so that I can launch Protools 7. I choose the external HD as the startup disc and end up getting a circle with a line through it on startup.
Is there something else I need to use my old hard drive running Tiger as a startup disk?
Thanks!

If the original HD still has the version of Tiger installed on it that came with the MBP (probably Mac OS X 10.4.8, build 8N1037, 8N1051, or 8N1430) or a later version of Tiger like 10.4.11, then the MBP should be able to boot from it.
To determine what OS & build number is on that drive, open the Startup Disk system preference. Hover the pointer over the drive's image in the window & the OS version & build number will pop up in a ToolTip window after a brief delay. What does it show?
Also, which MBP do you have? Open System Profiler to the Hardware Overview page. What is the Model Identifier shown in it? Is it "MacBookPro2,2" or something else?
Assuming the OS version & build number are sufficient to boot the MBP, it may be that the USB enclosure does not support booting. Most do, a few do not. What is brand/model of the enclosure? Do its specs specifically say it can boot a Mac?
If all of this seems OK, you can try running Disk Utility's two repairs (permissions & disk) on the external drive. If no errors are found, you may be able to get it to boot the Mac by reinstalling Tiger on it from the original system disc set. This will require updating the OS to the latest version you had installed on it for best results.

Can't boot from cd anymore after using norton systemworks 3

It is an imac 233 , and now all that comes up on boot up is a
command line and it won't boot from cd anymore when I hold
down c. I'm not familiar with any mac command line at all except dos. Any ideas?
Recently trying to install a new hard drive by the way and to
install os 9.04. 1st says I need to update firmware but it said volume was locked and firmware won't be updated; which led me to try to unlock it with system works. What a mess.
update now it won't boot at all. Did I kill it?

blues,
As I remember, Norton SystemWorks v3 may be the first (and last) version designed to work with OSX. It was awful. Put it away and never take it out of it's box again.
It sounds like you've got yourself into the open firmware prompt. In fact the text shown on the screen should show this.
It's un usual for Norton to force the computer to jump into Open Firmware, but type
mac-boot
to get your mac to continue to boot into the installed OS if there are no other issues.
It could be this:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25249
if the new hard disk you've installed is greater than 8Gb. In which case you'll have to re-partition it so that the first partition is smaller than 8Gb and install your OS on that first partition. In fact it's most likely this.
Let us know how you get on.

Wiping Hard Drive on PowerBook 1400 that won't boot from CD

A colleague has a PowerBook 1400 and would like to erase the hard disk drive. The problem is that I can't get another drive attached to the machine, Startup Disk crashes whenever I try to start it, and command-alt-shift-delete doesn't enable booting from the CD (the 1400 doesn't work with the C key on startup).
So, I can't get it to boot from the original media (which has OS 8.6, I think); I also tried booting from DBAN, but that didn't work.
I also can't get the installer on the original media to run. So I tried to create the Disk Tools disks using the original (CD) media, copying the folder to the desktop and then removing the CD and putting in the floppy drive, thinking that Disk Tools might very well have a formatting tool, but that failed, claiming that the image for Disk 1 is bad (I imagine it's not the image, but a problem with the computer).
We're not interested in getting the computer running, really (though it runs ok), just in wiping the HD. Any suggestions? Are the Disk Tool images something that Disk Utility on an OS X machine will recognize as a floppy disk image?

Well, I thought that wouldn't work. Guess what? It did. After zapping the PRAM, had no trouble booting into the CD. However, the disk tools didn't seem to include a secure wipe tool, so I finally ended up removing the hard drive and plugging that into my MacBook with a 2.5 in. USB enclosure and using Disk Utility to do a secure wipe, then putting the drive back in the machine and reinstalling OS 8.6.
In case anyone else is looking for a solution to this problem, to remove the drive: unplug the laptop, remove the battery, unscrew the three phillips screws on the edge of the battery slot, then the screw nearest the PCMCIA card slot, then remove the speaker grill, slide out the keyboard, unscrew the two screws at the top of the hard disk drive tray, separate the case slightly from the left front corner just enough to slip the hard drive ribbon out from underneath the top of the case, unplug the drive, then unscrew it from the drive tray.
Thank you all for your help.

Powerbook G4 500 won't boot from battery only

Hi,
I have a Powerbook G4 500 Ti (running OS 10.4.8 that will not boot from just the battery without the powercord attached. I have tried several different batteries and the same results.
Sometimes under "About this Mac" the battery show's it's there but most of the time it doesn't show a battery and an X appears on the desktop.
What I've done - replaced the battery with a fully charged one from a working PB, reset the PMU, Reset the Pram, Cleaned the contacts on all batteries and in the battery bay, Reseated the Airport card, Down loaded the latest Apple updates today and loaded them.The computer runs great with just the powerchord and sometimes the battery icon shows a picture of a plug, but then it reverts to the X.
Another problem, I have a working Airport card installed from another machine and it doesn't show up in the About this Mac window I get Airport Card: No INFORMATION FOUND that it is installed. Could this be related and also can a dead PRAM battery cause this? Any help would really be appreciated I've tried everything. Thanks for your response in advance.

Hi, Opie. A dead PRAM battery will generally prevent a Tibook from starting at all, with or without the AC adapter or a main battery in place. Therefore, I doubt that that's your problem.
Your Airport card cage and your battery are both connected (separately) to the Powerbook's main logic board. it is possible for those connections to work loose over time, or to be hindered by oxidation on the contact surfaces. You can try disconnecting and then reconnecting each of them several times to wear away oxidation and make sure the connectors are properly seated.
This page is the starting point for a complete, well-illustrated set of take-apart instructions for the 500MHz Tibook. The bottom illustration on the page that shows how to remove the keyboard shows the battery connector: a large white plug with several multicolored wires attached, directly beneath the keyboard's left-hand Command (Apple) key. The last illustration in the instructions for removing the Airport card shows the card's connector: a rectangular tan or orange tab at the right-hand end of the flex cable that is connected to the Airport card socket. While you have the bottom cover of your Tibook off, check to make sure the card is firmly seated in its socket and that the flex cable is solidly connected to the logic board.
Another possible reason for the battery's not being detected sometimes: Some 400MHz and 500MHz Tibooks had an ill-fitting battery: it slopped around in the battery compartment and could lose contact. Apple offered for some time to install free of charge a small shim that took up the slack inside the battery compartment and kept the battery pressed against its contacts. If that correction was never made in your Tibook, or if the shim has fallen out or shifted from its proper position, your Tibook may be suffering from the original problem now. Check to see that there is no movement of the battery once you snap it into position in the battery compartment. If there is any, post back for guidance on making and installing a shim. (Apple long since discontinued the repair program, and it's a simple thing to make yourself.)

Hi Nicolas, thanks for your response. Your suggested procedure is fine for NME-WAE. However I think our NME-WAE is crashing before to reach BOOT-PHASE3 as described in procedure, so I don´t know if i have to go ahead with sysimg images. Anyway, I have been testing with diferent sysimg versions, and I always obtain the same result: I obtain "corrupted netboot image" error

PowerBook G4 1.33 wont boot from DVD drive after upgrade

Can anyone offer some assitance. I just upgraded my PowerBook G4 1.33 from a Combo Drive to a Panasonic SuperDrive. Also upgraded to a 250GB harddrive. Got a tree error on HD and when I went to boot up Diskwarrior I could not boot from the DVD drive. It does not come up as a bootable drive. Tried Holding down "C" key "Option Key" nothing works. Can anyone tell me what's wrong? All other drive functions work perfectly.

Hi chubbs899, and a warm welcome to the forums & Macdom!
i have read says you can go in through disk utility and partition the drive but i still have yet to see anything that says something about disk utility.
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*

Bought cell off kijiji now the owner doesn't want to remove from ICloud

I Had bought a iphone 5c said it was locked so I paid for it, now he doesn't want to remove his account or this cell through ICloud now what?

Deal with the seller or kijiji - if they offer buyer protection. If seller refuses to help,
turn the iPhone into the police with all the information you have about the seller
as the iPhone is most likely stolen. Apple will not help in such matters. Only the
person who initiated the Activation Lock can remove it.

BIOS doesn't let me boot from CD drive.

HI,
Interesting problem, that I just can't seem to fix. I have a MSI K8N Neo2 and for some reason I can no longer boot from the CD drive. I have gone into the BIOS and set the optical drive as the first boot device and then saved the settings. When I boot the system, the drive runs, but it just skips on by and boots from the HD. Any ideas?

USB Flash Drive Recoery from Toshiba doesn't want to boot

I just received the USB today to reset the computer to its original Windows 8 settings. I cannot seem to get the thing to boot. If under BIOS I select UEFI, I get a no bootable devices are recognized and I have to shut down. In the BIOS menu, there is no name for the USB boot when UEFI is selected. If I choose CSM, now BIOS lists the name of the USB disc correctly. When I try to boot with CSM set, the program starts to come up, but I quickly get a BIOS is not UEFI message and the computer shuts down.
I can install Ubuntu 12.10 using a bootable USB I made and I can install an old copy of Windows XP 32 bits from a bootable CD, but this UEFI / Windows 8 64 bit thing is giving me trouble. What could prevent the recovery USB from working.
I should also note that the hidden partitiion trick does not work for me, hence why I bought the USB from Toshiba.

Time Machine doesn't want to restore from older backups

Hi I really am disappointed,I have a Transcend 500GB Hard drive and I have periodically been making backups from my Macbook Pro 13inch,when I tried to restore a file in Time Machine it either didn't respond or I could not move the slider to a different date.I then tried to do a system restore from one of my dates in Time Machine with my Mac OS install CD.It did the backup restore but then told me I had to shut down my Mac,I did but each time it would only come back to that message.I had to do a clean install,But now it seems I have lost all my backups all I want is some files and ma iTunes library.Can anyone help!!!Greatly appreciated.

Were you using your Snow Leopard Install disc? A Leopard disc can't successfully restore a Snow Leopard backup. If that's what you did, just do it over, with the Snow Leopard disc -- it should be fine.
I had to do a clean install,But now it seems I have lost all my backups all I want is some files and ma iTunes library.Can anyone help!!!Greatly appreciated.
If using the Snow Leopard disc doesn't work, repair your backups, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
If you haven't done any backups since reloading, don't.
Then see if your backups are there. (You may need to use the +*Browse ...+* option, per #E2 in Troubleshooting.) If so, and if you haven't done any backups since reloading, you may be able to use +Migration Assistant+ to recover your apps, users, data, etc. See the pink box in #19 of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum) for details.

Here comes the problem, When I select Windows from menu in grub I get:
rootnoverify (hd0,1)
makeactive
chainloader +1
The "_" is flashing like it would be trying to load something, but nothing happens.
Please help, I really want to play FarCry 2 :<

Powerbook doesn't want to boot from cd anymore
